Accusation Against Sidney B
 Wood,

Sidney B. Wood stands charged by some of the merchants of this place, as having ruined the trade of Hope, by selling goods at too close a margin. They say i've do not get good profits like we did be- fore Sidney came here," but that i Sidney Wood is shearing off the fat , with his close prices, and we must either follow or let him sell the goodsr They say that "he is now furnishing his trade with good ice water, and we will have to follow , or plead to our customers, that he will make it up on them.' All right good, friends, we prefer the latter. What is the loss of one is the gain of the other. IL is his uniformly low prices that place him on the top round of the ladder of big sales. His trade is grow ing to immense proportions-his sales since January last, have in creased nearly three fold as com. pared with the same period of for mer years. He does not attribute his increase of sales to his low prices alone, for others fall in on the low price scale, as soon as he has made them, but to his fair, square dealing, giving l6 ounces to the pound, and 36 inches ts the yard, and to his motto, "he good to the people, and the people will be good to you.' claim without fear of contradiction, 10 do more for the people who trade with me, than other merchants do for theirs
 l steadfastly continue tc serve the people, and bear the complaints of my competitors.
 The spats and slurs thrown at the bone and sinew of our land, (The WheelerSl, are like the spats and Slurs thrown at me by my competitors, but if the Wheelers will keep their aXles well oiled, and will stand with their shoulders to the wheel, they will make a grand success over all opposition. There is strength in union, and there is no class of people, who need more of this union of strength than the hrmers--so stand together and set Gown on all high prIced monopohes.
 It iS the scornful and uncalled tor hard talk, about me, that has caused me to get mad and cut pri ces of goods, until there is barely q living in the mercantile business. Those close prices force me to oth CT branches of trade, SO that the volume of goods sold, horse trad ing and other avocatlons, will add tony capital and give me strength to overcome all opposition.

Let us go to Athens, that proud Republic. Plutarch, speaking ot Solon's time. 594 B. C., says: "The inequality between the poor and the rich occasioned the greates discord, and the State was ill so dangerous a situation that there seemed no way to quell the sedi' tions, or to save it from ruin but changing 1t to monarchy. So greatly were the poor in debt to the rich that they were obliged to sell their own children to the usurers.n Now these children were often purchased as objects upon which the rich lord might gratity his lusts. With slavery came vice and degradation at both ends of society.-Prescott Dis patch.
 What other object than to grati- iy his Inst an American citizen could have for perpetratlng such paragraph, is more than a man of practical sense can surmise- lust for appearing wise 10 himself while he stands branded as a liter. al "dam-phoor to all the thinking world. And why eternally harp ing upon such things as this. as applied to American politics! Why insinuate that any American citi. zen could ever be bought to the bestial phase of human existence where he could be induced to sell the chastity of his own wife or daughte: as a means of perpetua- ting his miserable, hOggish, de. based life! Ii seems 10 us that none but a human brute could have such thought, and but d vulgar strife breeder utter it; aLd to do so is an inSnlt to every de- cent man in the land, and Il de hauching r"prOach to every lady. h the last political campaign in Nevada county the editor of the Dispatch was charged with utter. ing similar brastly and insulting sentiments from the roStrnm, but he denied and seemed to prove ont of it; but there iS no denying the above; and in the name of the common virtue and patriotism of thi.
